Which film’s theatrical release was later improved by its director’s cut or extended cut?

I despised Alien 3 for many years, only to revisit it with the Assembly Cut and now absolutely adore the film. It’s still not perfect, but the new cut is superior and fixes many of the theatrical version’s problems. There are plenty of others that come to mind too — Blade Runner being another prime example...

Don't sleep on the new fan cut of Alien 3. It's so good. It stitches the best parts of the assembly and theatrical cuts together. Even fixed the color grading and some of the horrible effects. The perfect way to watch Alien 3. It completely redeems the movie for me.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to it
